Hanoi Opera House
Hanoi Opera House is a grand French colonial building completed in 1911, modeled loosely on the Paris Opera Garnier, with a marble staircase and ornate hall inside that hosts opera, ballet, and classical music performances as well as occasional contemporary shows. Its plaza out front is a popular photo spot even for visitors not attending a performance.
Going inside generally requires either a ticketed guided tour (offered on a limited schedule) or attending an actual performance, so plan ahead if seeing the interior matters to you rather than just the exterior.
